t The fossil skull of Meles tcucus, in the Museum of the Philosophical Institu- 

 tion at York, spoken of, at p. Ill of ' Hist. British Fossil Mammalia,' as haTing 

 been obtained from the Red Crag at Newbourne, was dug up, I am informed, 

 from one of the more recent fluviatile deposits. 



\ Remains of Elephas are quoted from the Mammaliferous Crag near Nor- 

 wich, and numerous Elephants' teeth hare been dredged up on the Essex Coast, 

 from what are called the West Rocks. These latter teeth are generally tinged 

 with a reddish colour, and are considered as fossils of the Red Crag ; but there 

 are freshwater deposits, of a posterior date, in that district ; and these ^/nay he 

 remains from one of those beds : they have not the appearance of true derivative 

 fossils. I have never seen or heard of a specimen that has yet been procured 

 from the " coproUtic" diggings, or from any genuine portion of the E,ed Crag ; 

 and, as there is no sufficient evidence (at least to the present time known to me) 

 of its existence in that deposit, the name of the genus is not inserted in my List. 

 I am aware that the able geologist, IMr. Prestwich, is of opinion that the Norwich 

 beds are only the estuary portion of the Red Crag ; but this is a point not 

 quite established.
